• Sandhill Symmetry

    On one fabulous day last fall, I took 1,800 photos of sandhill cranes. Time has not dulled the fondness of that memory. When I take that many photos, I create a huge job of sorting and processing that turns out to be a lot less fun than being there. Initially it was easy to delete… Continue Reading

  • Not a happy clapper

The article got me wondering how long I look at photos? I… Continue Reading
